The Division had an incredible launch making it the biggest ever game to have gone on sale in the first three months of any year in the UK. The new Tom Clancy game has smashed through the record set by Gran Turismo 4, which was released in 2005 for the Playstation 2. When the game launched worldwide it had sold more copies of the game in its first 24 hours than any other new game Ubisoft had made.
PlayStation 4 accounted for 54 per cent of console sales, with Xbox One representing the rest. That is a much closer split than usual, with the Xbox One likely helped by Microsoft’s role in marketing the game.
So with The Division being out for a week it had lead the UK charts which made Far Cry Primal come in 2nd place.
